Episode 89 features Ashanti Branch—Founder and Executive Director of Ever Forward Club—in a conversation centered on healing, connection, and youth mental health.
A former math teacher raised in Oakland by a single mom, Ashanti saw too many students ready to drop out—not because they lacked ability, but because they didn’t feel safe, seen, or heard. Those moments shaped his life’s work.
Now a nationally recognized leader, Ashanti is the creator of the award-winning #MillionMaskMovement, engaging over 75,000 participants worldwide to help young people explore and express their emotions. A 2023 U.S. Surgeon General’s Medallion recipient, Fulbright Fellow, and 4x TEDx speaker, his work as an “emotional locksmith” reminds us that emotional literacy saves lives.
